What JBentraveler doesn't like about Rabia's:
The wait for Neptune was 2 hours and we were hungry. The restaurant next door, Rabias offered many of the same oysters at the same price and we decided not to wait. View all feedback. What michaelyoungs likes about Rabia's:

read moreRabia's offers similar oysters to Neptune without the long wait. Service can be hit or miss, but the stuffed chicken was impressive. The Italian dishes are decent, but not exceptional. Appetizers and drinks were average, with good service. However, Lobster Cioppino was delicious and the restaurant accommodated separate checks. A variety of dishes, excellent food, service, and no wait time were highlights. The lively staff made celebrations special, with lobster dishes being a standout. Rabia's is a great choice for lobster rolls and seafood without the long wait of other popular spots. The ambiance is dark, and there are concerns about single-use plastics.
